Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) or Blepahritis, is a condition causing inflammation of the eyelids. Each eyelid, both upper and lower contains over 20 meibomian glands that are responsible for producing the outer, oily layer of the tear film.
The fluid is released through tiny openings called ducts peppered along the edge of the eyelid, just behind the eyelashes. When a duct gets blocked, fluid backs up into the gland. This prompts inflammation and produces a cyst that grows toward the inner surface of the eyelid. The cyst is small and white, as you describe. Often, meibomian cysts disappear without any treatment at all. Failing this, I recommend putting a warm compress on the area. Apply it for 10 to 20 minutes, three to four times a day. This gentle treatment encourages the cyst to drain and heal.
